This is a help file written by request, if your problem isn't addressed in

here don't blame me.

Also add whatever you think is relevant or change anything that is

wrong (if you are sure its wrong) but be sure to put my name in as the one

that started the file. Thanks.



I have a p100 w/ 16m ram. A number 9 motion771 video card w/ 2m vram.

And a 28.8 Boca modem.  I run Win95 but run B&W from Dos.



The file I downloaded was ppp.zip.  



The first problem I ran into was what does what. So the important ones

that I used were these.

Bwdialer - the actual script dialer.

Bwcustom - the program where you set up your ISP configuration.



The rest of the files are drivers and a windows program (that I know nothing

about, it crashed my system when I tried to run it :)



I loaded the drivers like this.  What I added I got from the readme file

that came with B&W.



In the config.sys add:



DEVICEHIGH=C:\GAMES\QUAKE\BW\ETHDEV.SYS

DEVICEHIGH=C:\GAMES\QUAKE\BW\TCPIP.SYS 512 512 30



I also changed my files to 100. I did this cause the readme file had 80

and I wanted more. 80's probly plenty.



In the Autoexec.bat add:



SET USERNAME=Whatever-it-is

SET BWSTATE=C:\GAMES\QUAKE\BW

SET DOMAIN=acu.edu  (that's mine you put yours)



You could add:



  cd\games\quake\bw

  lh pktppp.com 0x60



  But I've always just typed that in.



As for the script.



This is mine (minus my password). It is called login.cmd

You would chang 'username:' and 'Password:' and 'annex:' to whatever your ISP

sends to queue the login.

This was the hardest to figure out. They put # signs before the waitfor

lines in the example and I didn't catch that those aren't suppose to be

there. So if you have them there then take them out.



What I did in bwcustom :



Set up 'Hardware Customizations' for your modem.

I didn't change anything cause mine's on com1 w/ default IRQ and Hex address.



In 'Sit Customizations' I changed the following:



In set internet address:

      If you have a static internet address then enter it here. Otherwise

      choose 1-4.

      I tried 2,3 & 4.  2 is the one that worked for me.  If you know which

      method your ISP uses then you're lucky, otherwise try each one till

      one works.



For the Authentication, Domain, and Name servers I just put in my name

server cause it is the only one I know.  I didn't change the Gateway menu,

Log server menu, or Telnet window size.





The command line I use to dial is:



lh pktppp 0x60  (cause I don't have it in my autoexec.bat)

bwdialer login.cmd /ppp



If it worked then it will give you your IP, then go back to the Dos promt.

Mine says 'Network already started' but I Don't know whether that means

anything or not.



This is all I know and it worked for me. If any of this doesn't fix your

problem then I'm sorry. Don't flame me if this does't help. You asked for

a help file this is it.  If you add or change anything in this file please

send me a copy at crm95t@timon.acu.edu. Have fun and see you in the

Castles. I'll know you cause you'll be the one whose head I just saw

bouncing by.
